CSI Season Premiere – I Am Happy

So much love for CSI tonight.

the alleyway, hearing the gunshot, and finding Warrick. Holding Warrick close, trying to staunch the bleeding.

Sara coming back and telling Gil what he already knew. Warrick loved Gil and Gil loved Warrick.

Warrick in the video talking about the one person he admired, that stood up as a role model for him despite the lost of his parents at an young age. The person that gave him inspiration, motivation, a beacon of morality, confidence. We never heard him say who that person was but we knew as Grissom knew Warrick was talking about him. The look on Grissom’s face watching the video, amazed and sad.

How the team pulled together to focus on finding Warrick’s murderer, even Ecklie.

Nick’s grace and strength in holding back but letting loose anyway. Tasting desperately the hate and desire to kill McKeen, to shoot him dead on the spot. Pulling back at the last minute. McKeen will spend the rest of his life in prison for not one murder but two.

Gil’s quiet breakdown while giving the eulogy at Warrick’s funeral. You knew just how much he’d cared for Warrick.

The episode was quiet but effective, not emotionally overdrawn. But Gil, I don’t think I’ve ever seen him as torn apart as he was tonight.
